Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

"How should I put it? It feels like someone is missing..."

After watching Courtney leave, Xu Zhen and the others had breakfast and were heading to the guild.

Xu Zhen smiled bitterly and muttered to himself, obviously feeling a little lonely. The monsters felt the same way, especially Lopur, who looked particularly depressed. After all, Courtney was the benefactor who saved them from the bandits.

In this atmosphere, Lati expressed her doubts: "Why was Courtney so hesitant? Once she made the decision, things happened so quickly that I was surprised."

"How should I put it? Maybe it's because things suddenly came up, so I was confused for a while. Well, actually I don't know."

Hearing this, Lati tilted her head and said, "Even the master doesn't know?"

“Of course I am. I’m not Courtney.”

"Yes, that's true."

At this point, the conversation suddenly stopped, and Xu Zhen and the others fell silent again. Xu Zhen felt that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, so he said to the monsters in a bright voice: "Anyway, let's cheer up and keep moving forward."

"Yes. We do have a mission today, right?"

"Ah, hopefully there will be some interesting missions."

Lati agreed with Xu Zhen's words, which made Slakić and Lopul smile again. When they felt relieved, they saw their destination - the guild.

When they pushed open the heavy door, many adventurers had already gathered here, even though it was still early in the morning. At this time, Xu Zhen remembered what the receptionist had told him before.

"She said the task was posted early in the morning... I didn't expect so many people had signed up."

"By the way, Courtney also said that the guild basically opens at dawn. It feels like we really woke up late."

Lati clenched his fists in annoyance, but in fact, they really had no choice this time. Xu Zhen stroked Lati's head and said, "Let's go check the notice board first. Maybe there are still tasks left."

After regaining his composure, Xu Zhen let Slakic and Lopul sit on his head and shoulders. He thought it would be safer because there were so many people.

At this moment, they almost bumped into a team of four adventurers who were walking over.

"Ah, I'm sorry."

“No, it’s our fault.”

Xu Zhen apologized almost instinctively, and then an elf youth with a sword on his waist made way for Xu Zhen and the others with a refreshing smile.

Although they were a little confused, they nodded gently and responded with a "thank you", then continued to walk towards the bulletin board. The elf youth led the other three out of the guild.

During this time, a girl with short ears and semi-long hair from the elf tribe seemed to be concerned about something and looked back at the guild. But she quickly turned her gaze away and hurriedly caught up with the other three.

The task bulletin board set up in the center of the guild was quite large. One side was occupied by tasks from A to C level, and the other side was occupied by tasks from D to F level. Both sides were filled with tasks posted.

This is the first big event of the guild every morning, and it is also the time when adventurers gather the most. Since it is first come first served, this is natural.

Therefore, people like Xu Zhen who came after breakfast at the hotel could only receive the remaining tasks. Thinking that he should come earlier next time, Xu Zhen began to check the tasks left on the notice board.

“It’s pretty scattered.”

“There are quite a lot of F-rank missions. Why is this happening?”

"Who knows? Regardless, let's pick one." Xu Zhen didn't pay much attention to the details and leisurely checked the posted tasks. At this time, his eyes stopped on a piece of paper: "...This one looks interesting."

Xu Zhen gently tore off the paper and showed it to Lati and the others.

“Uh… ‘Southern Forest Gathering!’ is a quest to collect herbs?”

"No, it seems that you need to collect poisonous herbs or fruits. Anyway, the more you collect, the higher the reward will be."

“Piki-Piki, Piki!”

Suddenly, Slakić, who was sitting on Xu Zhen's shoulders, began to talk to Xu Zhen.

"Slakic? What happened?"

"The southern forest is the forest we saw from afar yesterday." Through Lati's translation, Xu Zhen recalled what he saw yesterday.

"Maybe? I don't see any other place that looks like a forest."

“Odd, odd!”

At this time, Lopul, who was sitting on Xu Zhen's head, also talked to Xu Zhen like Slakic.

"Loppel said he was also curious about what kind of monsters would appear there."

"Indeed, we should learn more about the place before we go there."

"Yes. Then let's take this mission."

"Um."

Xu Zhen and his companions took the task list and walked towards the reception counter excitedly. The adventurers around them looked at them with strange eyes.

An orc male adventurer whispered to his teammates: "...Hey, that little girl with feathers, didn't she just understand what the slime said? What's more, fairies really exist."

"Are you surprised now? But then again, fairies do seem to be able to talk to monsters. I vaguely heard about this when I went to the Kingdom of Sforia."

"Really? How does she understand the language of monsters?"

“Then I don’t know.”

Their eyes turned to Xu Zhen and the others at the reception desk again. Lati was also talking to the receptionist, and was greeted with a smile.

Although they were surprised, the person who received them remained calm and continued to treat them with a smile, which made the adventurers around them admire him.

At this time, an adventurer smiled with deep interest and turned his gaze to Lati: "It's amazing to be able to understand the language of monsters. It must be very useful."

"Even though you said that, it's not necessary. I don't think it's usually necessary to communicate with monsters through consciousness."

"Ah, indeed... at least it would be nice if I could become a charming mature woman like that and fight beautifully..."

When an adventurer said this, the atmosphere around him suddenly became cold.

"Well... no matter how you look at it, that's unlikely."

“Isn’t that what you want?”

"Come on, why are you suddenly not cooperating?"

"How do you answer that question?"

"Hmm. To be honest, I don't know how to answer this."

While the adventurers were arguing, Xu Zhen and his companions, who had accepted the mission, walked over with excitement. A few minutes later, when they had left the guild for a while, another quarrel began, but that is another story.
